Kristina Dorothy

This morning it was my privilege to coach a friend through the birth of her first child. Little Kristina Dorothy was born at 2:37am today. She weighed in at 4lbs., 11oz., and 16 3/4" long. Mother and daughter are both fine.

As I watched Aleshia do this work, this labor. I had an ah- ha moment. Some people more eloquent than I might call it an epiphany. The instant the baby drew her first breath; I saw the face of God. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
